Methods
Using the Essay Eggs model, a unique and effective method of teaching she developed, Alice helps students develop structured essay writing, including:
Developing ideas and examples using logical thinking
Focus on paragraph organization and structure using yolk and shell method
Sentence structure and fluency
Conventions, proofreading, revision
Alice also offers tutoring in story writing, vocabulary building using root words, ACT/ SAT essay writing, and college essay coaching.
